In compiling this list the assertion is not made that no 
birds other than those mentioned breed in this State. These 
records cover the period from 1890 to 1908, and have been 

~\ gathered from reliable sources. 

When making up this little book it was not considered ad- 
.* visable to accept hearsay evidence, nor to give credence to the 
* records of any but those who are intimately acquainted with 
. the habits of Rhode Island Birds. 
> Many birds are locally known by erroneous names. The 

» €creech Owl, because it has long ear tufts, and also, as it fre 

. quently takes refuge in barns, is often called both ‘“Long- 

™ eared Owl” and “Barn Owl.’ The Chipping Sparrow, which 

~nests in trees, is called ‘Tree Sparrow,” and the Flicker, ow- 

_ ing to the red patch’ on the back of its head, is called “Red- 

“headed Woodpecker.” Many other local names, too numerous 

_ to mention, are used and it can readily be seen that such rec- 

.ords require careful investigation. The fact that adult birds, 

_~ or young able to, fly, have been seen during the breeding sea- 

~ son, does not necessarily constitute a nesting record. 
ap, | This is not a history of Rhode Island Birds, and no descrip- 

tions of birds, nests, or habits have been attempted. Only a 

~. list of the common and scientific names with a single nesting 

~ data for each has been given; and data have been used, for 
~-the most part, where more than one party have seen the nest 
in question. The letters A. O. U. and the number before the 
«. hame of each species, refer to the check list of North Amer- 

» ican Birds of the American Ornithologists Union. 

-— The greatest thanks is extended to those who have allowed 

the use of their records, but especially to John H. Flanagan 

‘, (former Chairman of the Rhode Island Bird Commission), 

“and Thomas L. Flanagan of Providence, who rank among the 

P 2 highest authorities on Rhode Island Birds, having established 

“»many breeding records; notably the Great Horned Owl and 

“ Long-eared Owl, two of the rarest nesters in this State. 

-< This book is not an official report, and is published (in a 
Slimited number) at the personal expense of the Commission.
